Evening light seeped across Max’s bedroom walls like a slow-spreading stain, stretching shadows over the quiet that had settled in. This room used to hum with late-night gossip and chaotic laughter; now the silence felt thick, almost smothering. Her friends had pulled back, calling her intensity draining, exhausting. From down the hall came the brittle crash of glass—Marcus was home, drunk and sinking. Her parents’ passive, watchful neglect hung in the air like dust. Max curled herself smaller beneath the sheets, her voice trapped beneath layers of unspoken truth. In the hollow echo of the room, she felt a loneliness so deep it was physical.
